Profiles

Inaugurated in the fall of 2015, our Profiles section combines photographic portraits with brief reflections from each person on themes and ideas relating to our core convictions. These profiles, which feature friends of the Ikeda Center, are posted regularly to our social media sites and are archived here by topic, for cumulative viewing.

Dignity

Our first profile set features reflections on the topic of dignity. These were created following our 2015 Ikeda Forum for Intercultural Dialogue, "The Practice of Dignity: What It Looks Like Today." Dignity is at the heart of our fourth core conviction.Profiles »

Hope

At the panel discussion event, “Glimmers of Hope: Peace Education Around the Globe,” which we co-hosted with the the University of San Francisco (USF) Department of Education, we invited attendees to share reflections on how the themes of the event resonated with their lives and work. The event was held at USF on March 11, 2016. Profiles »

Dialogue

This section features reflections on our first core conviction: Dialogue and mutual understanding are inseparable, and needed now more than ever. Profiles »
